Mark and Walker dare the siege perilous in this, their thirteenth installment. Walker shares a rare moment of sincerity, and Mark restrains himself from taunting him for the lapse. Rising Sun is revisited and compared to Twilight Imperium, and shockingly Mark highlights ways in which that is favorable to TI:4. Mass hysteria ensues.

Welcome to the Dice Tower! In this show we talk about Ancestree, 1846 Race for the Midwest, Castell, Ladder 29, Roar: King of the Pride, and Gentes. Eric shows up to cause trouble, and we take a look at some classic games like Biblios and Manhattan. Finally, we end the show talking answering a few questions from listeners, such as board game apps and the "Jones" rule.
Based on the board game, City of Remnants, Rise of a Remnant charts the rise, through the criminal underworld, of a young hungry "rem". The City of Remnants is a city populated by alien refugees that have been captured by the cruel overlords of the galaxy, The Yugi. If you're not big enough to work in the mines or strong enough to fight at the front you are thrown in to The City of Remnants to struggle for the meagre life that can be found there. This is a short story written and performed by Ben Maddox.
Majesty is an easy to learn, wonderfully elegant and interactive card game. Each player recruits subjects to help create a prosperous new realm. Each character offers a simple but specialized way to bring wealth, health and security to the crown.

Greg Loring-Albright, designer of Leviathan, discusses the ins, outs, and what-have-yous of micro games. He brings up some great points about designing small games that carry a big experience.
The gang's got Dungeons and Dragons fever again! We're still sticking with our Dark Earth 1899 campaign, but Dungeons and Dragons always keep creeping back into their minds. After they get that out of their systems the Lords talk about using combat descriptions and how it enhances the experience for the group. They announce a new contest in which you could with a Dungeons and Dragons starter kit. And finally they talk about planned character evolution.
Mark has a bit of an identity crisis, but his devotion to his listeners will see him through. Walker, as is his wont, merely patiently rolls his eyes-especially when Mark almost tries to get him to review a game they've only played once. The insolence!
